The biggest cosmetic defect of this generation is this window molding. For replacement, see http://hondatuning.automotive.com/92...ing/index.html
In the alternative, you can re-paint the old ones. Search this site for discussion of same. Lots of folks here do this, since the new moldings run around $200 for a sedan. I used Krylon gloss black paint and this way improved the appearance of the car, IMO. A few others have what I think may be better suggestions for the paint to use. As always for any paint job, surface preparation is everything. :-)
